Well deserved!
Thank you to the Muhammad @AliCenter in Louisville, Kentucky, for welcoming me and honoring me as the 2026 Humanitarian of the Year at the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards. I’m grateful to be recognized for standing against racial injustice and for the work we continue to do in @yourrightscamp.
To even be mentioned in the same sentence as the Greatest, Muhammad Ali, is an honor. His courage and sacrifices helped change the world and opened doors for so many of us. Without him, there is no me.
I hope my work continues to build on what he and so many freedom fighters before us started. There is still so much work to be done, and carrying that legacy forward is both an honor and a responsibility.
To Mrs. Lonnie Ali, thank you for your wisdom, kindness, and support throughout the years. I am forever grateful.
I encourage everyone to make the trip to Louisville and visit the Muhammad Ali Center. Learn his story, understand what he stood for, and support the work being done to keep his legacy alive. Ali didn’t just make history. He challenged us to take a stand, and that responsibility belongs to all of us.

Let’s remember Russia, China and aligned counties want to destroy trust in USA and in science- especially regarding proof that companies/ industries are doing grave harm!!!
The public trusts scientists to use artificial intelligence ethically but they do not trust politicians.
But the key to public trust is using this technology with integrity. I think this kind of trust is tenuous and scientists have a responsibility to use it wisely.
Using AI to k papers and faulty claims is likely going to erode trust very quickly.

This new Reuters report is stunning.
A week before the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader, JD Vance reportedly met at a private Montana ski club with John Addison, an oil trader who had given $300,000 to help elect Vance to the Senate in 2022. Vance allegedly asked how fast Venezuela's oil could be sold if America took control of it.
Both men deny the meeting.
Flight records show their planes parked together that day.
Two days after the Venezuela operation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright called Addison and offered his company, Vitol, the job of selling Venezuela's oil. There was no public bidding. Vitol and one rival have since made hundreds of millions of dollars.
Addison and his wife also gave $7 million to help elect Trump, and he now chairs a board advising Secretary Wright.
Congress has a duty to act.
We should bring Secretary Wright, Vitol, and Addison in to testify under oath. We should demand the phone records, emails, and flight logs. We should find out whether anyone got a heads-up about a military operation. And we should require open, competitive bidding before any company profits from our foreign policy.
If nothing was wrong, let’s see the records.

Yes!!!
Raskin: Somebody should tell Todd Blanche and his team to get a Supreme Court decision called Steffel v. Thompson, which says it’s legally actionable to bring an injunction action against the government if the government is trying to scare you out of exercising your First ur constitutional rights.
In our case, it’s not just that these members were exercising their constitutional rights; they were exercising their constitutional duties. We have a duty, as the Article I preeminent branch of government, to conduct oversight operations of the entire government, as well as the economy and other things happening in society.

I have a whole chapter in my jeffrey epstein book on Dougan. (You spelled his name wrong) He was a former Palm Beach Sheriff’s deputy. He has really made the rounds!
New: The contents of a hacked computer belonging to John Mark Dougin, an American ex-cop living in Russia, offer documentary evidence that he worked with the FSB and GRU to peddle disinformation. He liaised with GRU Unit 29155 the originator of the Ukraine biolabs hoax, and his in June 2026, when information from his investigation was endorsed by @TulsiGabbard, who was serving as director of national intelligence in the Trump administration." theins.press/en/inv/299417?…

Hegseth is a traitor.
A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

This is big: Newly revealed records from the hacked computer of Russian propagandist John Mark Dougin confirm that former DNI Tulsi Gabbard used information from Russia's GRU to peddle disinformation about Ukrainian biolabs.

Nearly 97 percent of transgender people who received hormone therapy as teenagers did not regret it five years later, a study found.
Though some patients did regret medically transitioning, those rates are relatively low compared to other medical interventions. wapo.st/4C44lZp

People are getting this extremely wrong. Karp in particular is not "pivoting left" — this is explicitly "Hegelian synthesis," a merger of left-right ideology which is rooted in Marxism and Soviet Reflexive Control doctrine. What they're saying here is that the old left/right paradigm is obsolete. What you're getting here is a Karp/Thiel left-right synthesis and that was always the case. Folks don't know the history or philosophy sufficiently well to parse this, and need to get up to speed quickly.

The midterm elections have positively changed the political landscape, but the work of building a better future is just beginning.
What comes next is understanding how authoritarian influence actually works, how disinformation spreads, how psychological warfare shapes what we help people think for themselves again.
That is why I keep coming back to my Influence Continuum and BITE Model of Authoritarian Control®.
People need to be able to distinguish between ethical influence and authoritarian mind control. We need better tools to educate people about disinformation, more training for media, educators, politicians, and ordinary citizens, and better tools for talking to people who have been radicalized without pushing them further away.
We also need to understand the much bigger systems of influence operating around us.
In The Cult of Trump, I put Putin and Russia at the top of what I called the “puppet masters.” Unfortunately, I did not include China, but I now believe it has been deeply involved as well.
And there is another power center not named in the book: what Gil Duran calls The Nerd Reich, involving broligarchs such as Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison and others, as well as the ideologies and the enormous technological power surrounding them.
I recently interviewed Gil about The Nerd Reich on my Substack. I also recently spoke with expat Amanda Rivkin Häsler, and this week I’m featuring Yale social scientist Matthew Facciani and his work on disinformation.
All of these conversations connect to the same bigger question: how do we help people understand influence, recognize manipulation, identify trustworthy information, and recover their freedom of mind?
I’m going much deeper into all of this on my Substack, from disinformation and psychological warfare to tech power, radicalization, Russia, China, and how we protect freedom of mind.

Can a video game help you learn to spot manipulation before you fall for it?
I spoke with social scientist Matthew Facciani, PhD, about “prebunking”: learning to recognize manipulation tactics before they show up in your feed or family group chat.
Whether it’s emotional conspiracy theories, knowing what to look for can help you pause before you believe or share. It’s vital to learn how recognizing the tactics can help you think more critically about your next click.
Matthew describes a five-minute game his team developed that helped participants distinguish true headlines from false ones and made them less likely to share false headlines immediately afterward. More people should have these skills.

Great review of 5 films. I saw the Holmes doc Saturday, and I plan to make a video about how Holmes behaved during the film’s production and about her husband, Billy Evans. My expertise in hypnosis and brainwashing will probably be of interest to many. Saw the Musk film and agree with Dave’s critique, but still want everyone to watch it, as most are ignorant about Musk. I never pay to see Scientology’s Cruise movie but will watch it on an airplane when it streams. Really want to watch Breaking the West ASAP!
